THE lawmaker representing Offa/Oyun/Ifelodun constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Ismail Tijani, on Sunday, distributed some items to his constituents to empower them.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the items were: tractors, freezers, wheelchairs, grinding machines, block molds and popcorn machines.
NAN also reports that the programme was held at the playing field of St. Cyprian’s Primary School, Offa in Offa Local Government Area of Kwara.
The items, which also included sprayers and different types of machines for farm produce processing, were shared across all the wards that make up the constituency.
Tijani said that the empowerment programme was targeted at farmers, traders, youths and artisans to boost their businesses, particularly at this period of economic hardship.
